noob using icegrid-gui

[timberwolf]

Hi,

This is a really basic question, I have looked at the manual but I not getting it.

I have icegridregistry running on one machine (192.168.0.173) and I'm trying to use icegrid-gui to connect to that machine and view the registry. But when I use the gui with endpoints default -h 192.168.0.173 -p 12000 I get a login failed error.

Could not create session:Ice.OperationNotExistException
c.a="SessionManager"
c.b="IceGrid"
d=""
e="createLocalSession"

What does this mean? Is there something I'm just totally not getting?

Thanks.

It means you are almost certainly talking to an old version of the icegrid server.

icegridregistry --version gives me 3.1.0
and I using icegrid-gui version 3.0.1

I installed ice from the ubuntu repositories, I've also set permissionverifier in the icegrid config file to the Null verifier.

not sure what I'm doing wrong...

You're not using the right GUI version. You need to use the IceGrid GUI from the 3.1.x distribution to talk to a 3.1.x IceGrid registry.

Cheers,
Benoit.

Hi,

You should be using the 3.1.1 IceGrid GUI not 3.0.1 (it's available with the Ice for Java distribution which you can download from our web site here).

If the Ubuntu repository only contains the 3.0.1 version, I would recommend contacting the maintainer of the Ubuntu packages (note that these packages are not maintained by ZeroC).

Cheers,
Benoit.
